Commerce (DDEC by its Spanish acronym), and Jon Borschow, chairman of Foundation for Puerto Rico (FPR), recently held a virtual forum to discuss economic opportunities for the island.<\/p><p>In the preface, Brian English \u2014senior advisor for Development at FPR\u2014, indicated that the topics entailed \u201ctransformative ideas to propel and accelerate the economic development of the island, both for recovery and long-term development. These discussions have been brought together by influential leaders in important positions in Puerto Rico \u2014what their plans are, what their agendas are\u2014 and bring leaders like yourself together in these discussions, because ultimately we need to be developing relationships, partnerships, multisectoral alliances.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-627632b0\" data-id=\"627632b0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54b2072 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"54b2072\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-340141e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"340141e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Cidre observed that although the island is slated to receive roughly $64 billion in federal funds for the next 10 years to improve its infrastructure and foster economic development, there are \u201cmany challenges ahead,\u201d such as the nearly 12 percent drop in population in the past decade, as confirmed by U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s 2020 results. That, he said, \u201cshould be a source of inspiration\u201d to work towards a prosperous Puerto Rico with a renewed fiscal and economic performance.<\/p><p>With this in mind, he highlighted five key pillars. The first, he said, is to transform the local business ecosystem by promoting an ambitious entrepreneurial mindset.<\/p><p>\u201cPuerto Rican entrepreneurs are not alone in the world; they must see the world as their final client and insert themselves precisely in a task of being number one if they are a local supplier, but\u2026 aspire tomorrow that those companies that today operate in Puerto Rico can think about expanding, and for that local management on the hand of strong local capital to be able to acquire and operate them as Puerto Rican businesses, adding wealth to the country,\u201d he asserted, adding that he sees federal funding as a tool to \u201ctransform and create internal wealth.\u201d<\/p><p>Another issue is attracting and retaining U.S. and foreign businesses, stating that he diverges from categorizing American enterprises as foreign entities, in contrast to the federal government. Borschow underscored that reshoring American manufacturing companies from Asia is \u201cone of the few things in which there is consensus in Washington, D.C.\u201d and that Puerto Rico\u2019s geographic position and relation to the U.S. mainland gives it a unique advantage over its competitors.<\/p><p>Along this line, Cidre urged seeing reshoring beyond attracting biopharmaceuticals. \u201cRecently, General Motors in Detroit had to reduce its production capacity due to the lack of microchips, microchips that are made 100 percent in China. So, reshoring includes elements that have never been seen before, such as microchips,\u201d he said. \u201cPuerto Rico is positioned as a very viable alternative, even above many states in the nation.\u201d<\/p><p>Moreover, he said that Puerto Rico cannot rely on being a low-tax jurisdiction because \u201canybody can replicate that effort.\u201d Instead, the official said that Puerto Rico needs to provide incentives focused on \u201cthe economic reality at hand,\u201d plus improve its permitting process and the ease of doing business on the island, a recurring complaint in the private sector. \u201cYes, we want to be a low-cost jurisdiction, but we also want to be an agile country, a country of respect, an educated country, a safe country. The economic development umbrella goes far beyond simply bringing jobs or giving tax incentives,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p><p>The fourth pillar Cidre discussed is using funds from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to transform the human resources base for existing and future businesses. In March, the secretary-designate announced $4 million in WIOA funds for employers, in addition to the more than $7.1 million approved a year prior under the same law to avoid layoffs, and $65 million under the Coronavirus Relief Fund, as indicated by Gov. Pedro Pierluisi.<\/p><p>Lastly, Cidre pointed to House Resolution 1740, presented by Rep. Jenniffer Gonz\u00e1lez (R-PR) in the U.S. Congress, which seeks to designate all of Puerto Rico as an Opportunity Zone (OZ). To date, roughly 96 percent of the island is a certified OZ, or economically distressed communities, which allows for tax benefits and incentives for companies and investors to develop projects in these zones.<\/p><p>\u201cAnd Jenniffer Gonz\u00e1lez\u2019s project falls along that line to attract small and medium-sized American businesses that could establish themselves in that low-income and economically depressed area to attract and create jobs in those specific areas,\u201d he said. However, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the development of Opportunity Zones has been delayed, not just in Puerto Rico, but across the nation.<\/p><p><i>By Giovanna Garofalo.
